Heart Shaped World is the debut studio album of American country music singer Jessica Andrews. It was released on March 23, 1999, and it produced four singles on the Hot Country Songs charts: "I Will Be There for You", "You Go First (Do You Wanna Kiss)", "Unbreakable Heart", and "I Do Now". "I Will Be There for You" was also included on the Nashville soundtrack to the 1998 film The Prince of Egypt.[1] "Unbreakable Heart" was originally recorded by Carlene Carter on her 1993 album Little Love Letters.[2]
Alex Henderson of AllMusic wrote that "[for] as much sweetness as she projects, Andrews isn't bubblegum—when she digs into 'You Go First', 'I've Been Waiting for You', and 'James Dean in Tennessee', you know that the singer isn't without an edge... And on Billy Burnette's ominous, bluesy 'Hungry Love'—the tale of a girl who has to grow up much too fast—it's clear that Andrews is capable of depth."
Eli Messinger reviews the album for Country Standard Time and says, "Andrews has skipped a few squares, singing at an emotional level at odds with her actual age. And though this formula has worked before (notably for LeAnn Rimes), one hopes her life experience will catch up with her talent."[3]
